Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith

This past weekend, my best girl friend, Kasandra, and I went to a concert featuring Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith. My mom had gotten 4 tickets and so we two besties went with my mom and her friend Alicia. We got to out seats as the music began to play and everything was amazing! All of the fans in the auditorium were praising God together. From the raising of hands to the singing along, everything was all about God and what he's done for us.

In May, Chapman's daughter Maria was run over in the driveway by her older brother. It was awful that such a tragedy would happen to a very Christian family. They got through it though and everything has resolved itself. They still miss their beloved daughter, but they have come to terms and they know that she's in a better place. Chapman was able to sing his song 'Cinderella' which seemed to be about little Maria, but was actually about Emily. It was hard for him, but he had the strength to get through it.

The lightshow was amazing and all the colours matched along with the songs. All of the songs were songs that I knew. Kasandra knew all of Michael W. Smith's songs. He started out with our song about friendship. It was a great way to start off the Smith portion of the concert.

Everything was great and Kasandra, Alicia, my mom, and I loved it. If you get a chance to go and see the Union tour, it's definetley worth it!
